Ultimately everything is hackable.

Attempts on Android are high, but actual exploits in the wild much
smaller, and mostly limited to Asian markets:
Out of the box, iOS and Android are both pretty secure, nearly on par
and both safer than just about any desktop OS, even macOS. It's the
Chinese knock-offs who ship "Android-compatible" systems without
Google's protections where things tend to go wrong. Same with
jailbroken iPhones.
Don't go out of your way to thwart built-in security, don't click links
or attachments in strange emails, and don't visit strange web sites, and
your odds of having your device infected, even a Windows PC, are pretty low.
